190.  A  WITHAM  M.S.— At  page  127  of  Mr.  T.  W.  Williams' 
Somerset  Mediazval  Libraries  (1897)  among  the  Witham  Books  is 
mentioned  a  M.S.  volume  from  the  Earl  of  Ashburnham's  Library, 
then  about  to  be  sold  in  London. 

It  was  one  of  the  books  in  the  "Appendix"  to  the  Earl  of 
Ashburnham's  collection,  which  were  purchased  by  Mr.  Yates 
Thompson.  It  was  with  others  subsequently  sold  at  Sotheby's 
and  is  now  before  me. 

The  title  given  to  it  is  "  Preces  piae.  Meditationes  beati 
Augustini  de  spiritu  Sancto,  orationes,  sermones  et  alia,"  and  is 
described  as  a  4to  M.S.  on  vellum  of  the  isth  Century  (See  H.M. 
Com.  Rep.  viii,  App.  Part  III,  page  103,  No.  50.) 

There  are  136  folios  (7^  x  5)  with  24  lines  to  a  page. 

It  is  very  neatly  and  regularly  written  with  numerous  colored 
capitals,  some  in  blue  ornamented  with  red  and  others  in  gold 
ornamented  in  brown,  and  there  are  a  few  nicely  illuminated 
capitals  with  floriated  designs  in  the  margin. 

The  contents  are. 

1.  Preces  piae,  folio  2. 

2.  S.  Augustine's  Meditationes  de  Spiritu  Sancto  (in  xxiii 
chapters),  folio  74b. 

3.  Hampole's  Melos  amoris,  folio  118. 

4.  Miscellaneous,  folio  i28b. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  volume  there  is  an  illumination 
representing  the  Annunciation,  which  may  be  described  as 
follows  : 

Within  a  floriated  margin  about  an  inch  deep,  a  scene  in  a 
chamber  with  chequered  floor,  black  and  brown  diagonally  ;  the 
roof,  blue  background  with  gold  stars,  and  on  the  right  a  window 
with  coloured  glass,  on  the  left  an  angel  with  wings  and  clothed 
in  a  long  flowing  robe  elaborately  ornamented  in  red  and  gold  ; 
the  angel  holds  in  the  left  hand  a  scroll  inscribed  "  Ave  Maria, 
gratia  plena,  Dominus  tecum."  In  the  foreground  is  the  Virgin 
clothed  in  blue  with  tall  head  gear,  veiled  and  kneeling  at  a  desk, 
covered  with  a  red  and  gold  ornamented  cloth,  upon  which  there 
is  an  open  book.  Some  of  the  architectural  features  are  left 
unfinished. 

On  folio  75b  an  ornamented  initial,  evidently  representing 
the  Sacred  Heart  with  the  Dove  descending,  has  been  partly 
effaced,  perhaps  intentionally. 

On  folio  i  lob  is  a  Prayer  to  St.  John  of  Beverley,  Archbishop 
of  York,  who  was  held  in  special  reverence  by  the  Carthusians. 
The  victory  of  Agincourt,  fought  on  the  Feast  of  his  Translation, 
Oct.  25th,  was  ascribed  to  his  merits. 

(See  J.  E.  Tyler,  Henry  V.  (1838)  vol.  II  p.  194;  Sir  Harris 
Nicolas,  Battle  of  Agincourt  (1832)  p.  177;  and  Shakespeare's 
Henry  V.) 

A  leaf  is  missing  between  folios  1 1  o  and  1 1 1 .

290  Somerset  (&•  Dorset  Notes  &  Queries. 

At  the  foot  of  folio  1320  is  written, 

Liber  iste  pertinet  domui  Salutacionis  Matris  Dei  prope 
Londinias  juxta  Smyffeld  quern  dominus  Wilhelmus

William   Tynbyth   or  Tynbeth   was  Prior  of  the   London 
Charterhouse  at  Smithfield,  1500-1529.     He  died  in  1531,  after 
having  been  a  professed  brother  of  the  house  for  over  60  years. 
On  folio  135  is  repeated 

Liber  iste   pertinet   domui   Salutacionis   Matris   dei 
prope  Londinias." 
And  on  the  back  of  the  same  folio,  otherwise  blank,  is 

"  Liber  iste  pertinet  domui  Salutacionis  Matris  dei 
ordinis  Carthus.  prope  London  iuxta  Smyffeld.' 
The  little  volume  is  bound  in  calf  and  lettered,  MISSAL.

191.  MIGRATION  FROM  SYMONDSBURY,  DORSET,  TO  NEW 
ENGLAND  IN  1635. — On  2oth  March,  1635-6,  there  sailed  from 
Weymouth,  Dorset,  a  party  of  Emigrants  to  New  England,  some 
1 06  in  number,  derived,  it  would  appear,  chiefly,  if  not  wholly, 
from  Somerset  and  Dorset.  The  places  where  they  resided,  so 
far  as  they  are  mentioned,  are  Batcombe,  Broadway  and  Dinder 
in  Somerset,  and  a  place  called  "  Simstuly  "  in  Dorset.  It  is 
with  those  starting  from  the  latter  place  that  the  present  note  is 
concerned.  The  list,  which  is  preserved  in  the  Public  Record 
Office,  London,  is  printed  in  J.  C.  Hotten's  "  Original  Lists  "  of 
those  who  went  from  Great  Britain  to  the  American  Plantations 
from  1600  to  1700. 

Simstuly  is,  without  doubt,  a  mistake  or  misreading  for  Sims- 
bury,  a  shortened  form  of  Simondsbury  or  Symondsbury,  near 
Bridport,  and  this  is  corroborated  by  reference  to  the  Parish 
Register.  The  list  runs  as  follows  : — 

"  Dorset.     98.     Richard  Wade  of  Simstuly  Cop  [Cooper]  aged  60 
99.     Elizabeth  Wade  his  wife  6 

100.  Dinah  his  daughr  22 

1 01.  Henry  Lush  his  s'vant  aged  17 

102.  Andrew  Hallett  his  s' vaunt  28 

103.  John  Hoble  husbandm  13 

104.  Robt.  Huste  husbandm  40 

105.  John  Woodcooke  2 

106.  Rich.  Porter  husband  [man]  3 
Some  of  the  ages  here  are  evidently  erroneous. 

Richard  Wade  appears  among  the  Symondsbury  baptisms 
7th  January,  1573,  as  Rychard  Wade  the  sonne  of  John  Wad 
[sic],  but  his  marriage  and  the  baptism  of  his  daughter  Dinah  are 


Somerset  &•  Dorset  Notes  &•  Queries.  291 

not  found.  The  name  of  Wade  is,  however,  of  frequent  occurrence 
in  the  Register  at  this  time. 

Henry  Lush,  the  sonne  of  Robert  Lush,  was  baptised  3rd 
January,  1618,  and  the  entry  of  the  marriage  of  Robart  Lushe  and 
Elizabeth  Whit,  the  parents,  occurs  on  i3th  January  1605. 

Androwe  Hallet,  the  sonne  of  Androwe  Hallet  and  Betrix 
his  wyfe,  was  baptized  igth  May,  1607,  and  the  entry  of  the 
marriage  of  Androwe  Hallet  and  Betryx  Knote,  the  parents, 
occurs  on  i8th  December,  1598. 

John  Woodcocke's  name  is  found  among  the  marriages,  first, 
on  i zth  October,  1613,  when  he  married  Matte  Hounsell,  the 
daughter  of  Andrew  Hounsell,  and  again  on  3rd  January,  1631-2, 
when  he  married  Christian  Larkam. 

The  names  of  John  Hoble,  Robert  Huste,  and  Richard 
Porter  do  not  occur,  but  the  marriage  of  a  Robert  Hoble  and 
Agnes  Morley  is  recorded  in  the  Register  of  Allington,  an  adjoin- 
ing parish,  izth  October,  1616,  and  of  an  Edward  Hoble  and 
Elizabeth  Martin,  yth  April,  1573,  so  that  this  surname  can  also 
be  traced  to  the  same  locality. 

These  few  notes  may  prove  useful  to  our  American  Readers, 
and  will  indicate  to  them  the  line  on  which  further  research  may 
be  pursued. 

We  are  much  indebted  to  Mr.  R.  C.  Maunsell  for  the  entries 
of  baptisms  from  the  Symondsbury  Register.  The  marriages  are 
already  printed  in  Vol.  II.  of  Phillimore's  Dorset  Marriage 
Registers.

192.  THE  LAKE  VILLAGE  AT  MEARE,  SOMERSET. — The 
Excavations  at  Meare,  Somerset,  were  renewed  on  Whit-Monday 
last,  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Arthur  Bulleid  and  Mr.  H.  St. 
George  Gray,  in  continuation  of  the  work  completed  last  year. 
The  following  summary  of  the  recent  discoveries  appeared  in 
the  Times  of  June  i7th,  1911. 

"  The  Late-Celtic  relics  already  discovered  this  season  in 
dwelling  mounds  7,  8,  and  9  are  very  numerous,  but  only  a 
comparatively  small  proportion  of  them  are  of  a  type  not 
previously  found  in  the  Glastonbury  Lake-Village.  Mound 
7  has  produced  a  class  of  objects  which  has  not  been  found 
elsewhere — viz.  a  number  of  worked  and  polished  shoulder- 
blades  of  animals,  the  spine  having  been  partly  cut  away ;  in  two 
cases  the  blade-bones  are  ornamented  with  many  representations 
of  the  dot  and  circle  pattern.  Kimmeridge  shale  is  rather 
plentiful  for  a  commodity  imported  from  Dorset.  Three  heavy, 
roughly-cut  rings  of  shale,  perhaps  for  harness,  were  found 
in  one  place,  and  parts  of  armlets  have  been  collected.  The 
so-called  "  cheek  pieces  "  for  horses'  bridles  are  again  numerous, 
and  of  varied  design.  The  first  object  of  tin  has  been  found — a 


2o,2  Somerset  &  Dorset  Notes  &•  Queries. 

bead  or  small  whorl  with  encircling  bands  of  punched  ornament. 
Bronze  has  not  been  found  plentifully  as  yet,  but  the  objects 
of  that  material  include  three  finger-rings,  an  awl  and  a 
long  rivet.  Several  beads  of  glass  have  been  found.  The  iron 
objects,  which  are  much  corroded,  include  a  knife,  a  file,  and 
a  chisel.  A  number  of  stone  hammers  and  whetstones  have 
been  uncovered,  and  in  one  dwelling  a  large  number  of  querns. 
Not  only  have  the  baked  clay  sling-bullets  been  commonly 
found,  but  an  interesting  group  of  182  sling-stones  at  the 
base  of  one  of  the  dwellings.  Human  remains  are  scarce, 
only  two  pieces  of  skull  bone  having  been  found.  The  flint 
implements  include  two  well-chipped  knives  of  large  size. 
Pottery  is  plentiful,  and  many  of  the  ornamental  designs  vary 
considerably  from  the  decoration  of  ceramic  remains  from 
the  Glastonbury  Lake-Village.  The  objects  of  bone  include 
several  bobbins,  pins,  polishing-bones,  knife-handles,  and 
perforated  tibiae  of  horse.  Objects  of  red-deer  antler  are  com- 
mon, and  include  hammers,  awl-handles  and  weaving-combs. 
The  latter  are  very  ornate,  and  no  less  than  29  have  been 
found  in  one  dwelling,  which  must  have  been  a  weaving 
establishment.  Other  weaving  implements  were  plentiful  in 
the  same  mound,  including  several  spindle-whorls.  Perforated 
boars'  tusks  and  dogs'  teeth,  for  suspension  as  personal 
ornaments,  have  also  been  discovered.  The  enormous  number 
of  bones  of  young  animals  indicate  that  the  inhabitants  of 
this  marsh  village  must  have  been  great  meat-eaters.  A  large 
number  of  bird-bones  are  also  being  revealed.  The  ox  and 
horse  appear  to  have  been  small,  but  there  is  evidence  of  a  large 
breed  of  dog  living  in  the  village.  The  remains  of  beaver 
and  otter  are  not  uncommonly  met  with." 

The  work  is  promoted  by  the  Somerset  Archaeological 
and  Natural  History  Society. 

193.  A  £2,500  SPOON.  (XII.  174,  223). — I  have  read 
with  very  great  interest  paragraph  1 17  in  the  December  number, 
part  92,  of  your  edition  under  the  heading  of  "  a  £2,500  spoon." 

Now  I  myself  know  more  about  spoons  than  almost  any 
man  in  England  and  I  will  bow  only  to  Messrs.  Crichtons  of  Old 
Bond  Street.  It  occurred  to  me  that  the  price  of  ^"2,500  was 
more  than  excessive,  as  I  believe  I  have  topped  the  scale  by 
giving  1 10  guineas  for  a  spoon,  and  I  was  struck  by  the  very 
curious  remark  that  the  spoon  in  question  had  a  spade  Guinea 
set  in  the  bowl. 

I  sat  down  and  wrote  to  Messrs.  Crichtons  and  I  beg  to 
subtend  a  copy  of  their  reply. 

[  myself  am  absolutely  confident  that  no  single  spoon 
can  be  of  anywhere  near  the  value  of  £2,500  unless  it  was  a 
very  early  English  one  with  an  authentic  history.

il  22,  Old  Bond  Street,  London,  W.,  5/7/11. 

In  reply  to  your  letter,  we  think  the  tale  of  the  spoon 
must  be  a  fable.  Spade  Guineas  were  only  used  for  about  a 
decade  at  the  end  of  the  1 8th  Century.  This  tale  appeared  in 
some  Sunday  newspaper.  (Signed)  CRICHTON  BROS." 

194.  RICHARD  KING  1616-1668.  (XII.  211,  261).— It 
is  quite  evident  that  the  Kings  of  Stourton,  Wilts,  were  a 
family  of  some  consequence,  and  indications  point  to  Norfolk 
as  the  original  locality  of  the  family,  with  strong  indications  of 
kin  in  New  Windsor,  Berks,  Walden,  Essex,  and  Bushey  and 
Watford,  Herts.  Whether  related  to  King,  of  Sedgehill,  Wilts, 
and  Motcomb,  Dorset,  is  still  unknown,  although  this  family 
also  intermarried  with  the  Goddard  family  of  Wiltshire. 

There  is  not  the  slightest  doubt,  however,  but  that 
Rev.  John  King,  of  Stourton,  Wilts,  1565 — 1605,  was  a  cousin 
of  Rev.  John  King,  D.D.,  of  Stourton,  Wilts,  later  of  Islip, 
Oxon,  as  is  shown  as  follows: — 

John  Kinge,  matriculated  as  Sizar  of  Peterhouse,  May, 
1548,  B.A.  1553-4;  fellow  of  that  Society  and  commenced  M.A. 
in  1557.  Rector  of  Stourton,  Wilts,  1565 — 1605.  Promoted 
by  the  Crown  to  rectory  of  Taplow,  Co.  Bucks,  loth.  August, 
1567,  and  installed  Canon  of  Windsor  26th.  May,  1580. 
(Cooper's  Athena  Cantab.,  3,  452.) 

He  died  i3th.  May,  1607,  and  was  buried  in  St.  George's 
Chapel  at  Windsor,  where  on  a  slab  are  two  brass  plates 
reading : — 

'"Here  under  lyeth  the  body  of  Mary  King  sometime  the

wife  is  unknown.  He  married  (zdly)  Mary  Bird,  daughter 
of  William  and  Mary  (Woodhall)  Bird,  of  Walden,  Essex, 
but  apparently  left  no  issue.

proved  i8th.  June,  1649  (P.  C.  C.  Fairfax  82)  calling  her

The  name  "  of  kinsman  Grove "  in  these  wills  and  in 
the  will  of  Rev.  John  Kinge,  D.  D.,  Rector  of  Stourton,  Wilts, 
clearly  proves  close  relationship. 

The  arms  on  the  tomb  of  Richard  King  of  Upham,  Wilts, 
clearly  indicate  descent  from  King  of  Devonshire  and  Towcester, 
Co.  Northampton,  the  ancestors  of  Bishop  John  King  of 
London  and  Bishop  Henry  King  of  Chichester.  The  Stourton 
Kings  were  clearly  of  a  religious  family,  many  of  whom  were 
in  orders,  and  further  information  and  data  concerning  them 
and  their  ancestry  or  descendants  is  most  earnestly  desired.

of  wood  called  Littlewood  Kisworth  in  Wimborne  Minster  of  the 
Abbot  of  Tewkesbury.  This  has  .undoubtedly  been  confused 
with  the  Keysworth  under  notice. 

In  5.  &>  D.  N.  &>  Q.,  Vol.  V.,  p.  77,  the  Rev.  R.  G.  Bartelot 
refers  to  a  Court  Roll,  then  in  his  possession,  which  includes  the 
manor  of  Keysworth.  From  this  it  appears  that  Edward  Vye, 
gent.,  was  steward  of  the  manor  from  1631  to  1656.  This  is 
probably  the  Edward  Vye  referred  to  in  the  Subsidies  quoted  above. 
This  Court  Roll  is,  I  believe,  not  now  owned  by  Mr.  Bartelot,  but 
it  is  possible  that  some  further  information  about  the  farm  or 
manor  of  Keysworth  may  be  obtained  from  it.

198.  THOMAS  WILLETT. — Wanted,    information  in  regard 
to  the  Willett  Family  of  Dorset,  previous  to   1650,  with  the  view 
of  tracing  the  ancestry  of  Thomas  Willett,  who  on  Sept.  i,   1643, 
married  at  New  York,  Sarah  Cornell.      He  is  described  as  of 
Bristol.  In  the  Parish  Records  of  St.  Warburgh's  Church,  Bristol, 
appears  the  name  of  Willet  and  Willis,  spelled  either  way,  for 
the  same  person.    A  Richard  Willis  was  churchwarden,   1618- 
1637,  and  a  Thomas  Willet  (or  Willis),  son  of  Thomas,  was  bap- 
tised there  in  1620.     There  is  reason  for  supposing  that  Thos. 
Willett,   "  of  Bristol,"  was  closely  related  to  Henry  Willett,  of 
Merley  in  Dorset. 

Any  information  concerning  this  Family  will  be  appeciated,

202.  EXCAVATION  OF  A  MOUND  NEAR  BRIDGWATER. — In 
company  with  the  young  Bazells  of  Bridgwater,  I  dug  a  trench 
through  the  middle  of  the  Mound  on  the  N.E.  side  of  the  head 
of  Chedzoy  Lane  in  April,  1907.      In  the  centre  we  found  an  old 
decayed  oak  beam,  which  we  followed  down  to  a  depth  below 
the  level  of  the  field.     We  found  it  fixed  into  an  octagonal  oak 
frame,  which  we  considered  to  be  the  ground  frame  of  a  wind- 
mill, whose  foundation  had  been  a  mound  placed  on  the  top  of 
this  frame.

204.  THE  LAMPETER  PORTRAIT  OF  THOMAS  BURGESS,  D.D., 
SOMETIME  BISHOP  OF  SALISBURY. — Very  few  prelates  during  the 
first  half  of  the  nineteenth  century  have  left  so  lasting  a  mark  on 
the  sees  they  occupied  as  Thomas  Burgess,  whom  Addington  made 
Bishop  of  St.  David's  in  1803.  Twenty-two  years  later  he  was 
translated  to  Salisbury,  where  he  died  on  Sunday,  Feb.  19,  1837. 
Thomas  Burgess  was  born  18  Nov.,  1756,  at  Odiham,  (pro- 
nounced Odjham)  in  Hampshire,  where  his  father  carried  on 
business  as  a  grocer.  His  younger  brother  John,  the  founder  of 
the  celebrated  "oilman's"  business  in  the  Strand,  immortalised 
by  Byron  and  Scott,  was  years  his  senior.  The  birthplace  of  the 
Burgesses  may  still  be  seen  at  Odiham,  although  the  ancient 
Grammar  School  they  both  went  to  has  been  restored  beyond 
recognition.  It  was  at  "  Robert  May's  School  "  that  Bishop 
Huntingford,  of  Hereford,  also  acquired  the  Rudiments.  The 
grandfather  of  John  and  Thomas  Burgess  was  Thomas  Burgess, 
Rector  of  Bighton,  Hants.  The  Odiham  grocer,  William  Burgess, 
lived  until  1787,  and  his  wife  until  1793.  After  her  decease  the 
younger  Burgesses  (one  of  whom  was  now  Bishop  of  St.  David's) 
erected  a  joint  memorial  to  their  worthy  parents  in  Odiham 
Church,  outside  of  which,  on  the  tombstone  of  "  Master  "  Robert 
May,  one  reads  the  sensible  lines  :  — 

Behold,  a  School,  where  poverest  boys  first  learn 
Vice  to  avoid,  then  worth  by  trades  to  earn. 
From  Odiham  Thomas  Burgess  went  to  Winchester  School, 
where  he  won  a  Scholarship  at  Corpus  Christi  College,  Oxford. 
Before  he  graduated  he  had  edited  Burton's  Pcntalogia.  In  1783 
he  was  elected  a  Fellow  of  his  College,  and  was  ordained  next 
year  by  Bishop  Cornwall,  of  Winchester.  In  1785  Bishop  Shute 
Barrington,  of  Salisbury,  made  him  his  examining  chaplain. 
Although  residing  at  Oxford  he  assisted  in  promoting  the  first 
movement  for  the  establishment  of  Sunday  Schools  in  the  Salis- 
bury Diocese.  It  was  probably  at  Salisbury  he  met  Hannah 
More,  at  that  time  a  frequent  guest  of  Bishop  Shute  Barrington 
at  the  Palace.  He  was  in  strong  sympathy  with  her  philanthro- 
pic efforts.  In  1791  he  followed  this  Bishop  to  Durham,  receiv- 
ing from  him  a  little  later  one  of  the  valuable  prebendal  stalls  in 
that  cathedral  and  the  "sweet  and  delightful  "  living  of  Winston 
in  that  diocese.  In  1799  he  married  Miss  Bright.  As  Bishop  of 
St.  David's  he  soon  made  his  influence  felt.  He  insisted,  from 


316  Somerset  &•  Dorset  Notes  &•  Queries. 

the  first,  on  adequate  educational  tests  for  ordination,  and 
in  1804  founded  the  "  Society  for  Promoting  Christian  Know- 
ledge and  Church  Union  in  the  Diocese  of  St.  David's."  He 
soon  after  began  to  collect  subscriptions  for  the  establishment 
of  a  college  on  the  model  of  those  at  the  English  Universities. 
Before  1820  he  had  obtained  the  sum  of  ^11,000.  Two  years 
later  he  commenced  the  erection  of  the  college  of  St.  David's,  at 
Lampeter  in  Cardiganshire,  which,  during  nearly  ninety  years, 
has  done  so  much  to  maintain  the  high  standard  of  Church  life 
in  the  Principality.  His  interest  in  St.  David's  College  only 
ceased  with  his  life.  It  was  the  object  of  considerable  benefac- 
tions in  his  will. 

The  excellent  Society  he  founded  in  the  diocese  of  Salis- 
bury, to  which  he  came  when  nearly  seventy,  helps  to  keep  the 
memory  of  Bishop  Burgess  green  both  in  Wilts  and  Dorset.  It 
benefitted  largely  by  his  will.  He  also  founded  a  school  in 
Salisbury  which  was  in  existence  until  quite  lately.  The  charac- 
teristic portrait  now  reproduced  hangs  in  the  hall  of  St. 
David's  College,  Lampeter.  It  has  recently  been  photographed 
by  the  kind  permission  of  the  Principal.  As  the  originator  of 
Bishop  Burgess's  Fund  Thomas  Burgess  has  a  good  claim  to  be 
considered  a  "worthy"  both  in  Wilts  and  Dorset,  although  few 
of  those  who  to-day  gratefully  remember  his  large-hearted  phil- 
anthropy and  unselfish  devotion  to  duty,  will  be  inclined  to 
approve  the  vehemence  with  which  he  fought  the  last  despe- 
rate battle  against  Catholic  Emancipation,  both  in  the  press,  on 
the  platform,  and  as  a  Member  of  the  House  of  Lords.

208.  FLYING  FISH  ON  THE  COAST  OF  DORSET. — The  fol- 
lowing paragraph  occurred  in  the  Standard  of  August  i  ith  last. 

"The  intensely  hot  weather  of  the  past  month  is  probably  re- 
sponsible for  the  capture  of  a  flying  fish  on  the  Dorset  coast,  at 
the  little  village  ofWyke  Regis,  just  outside  Weymouth.  The 
specimen  was  taken  by  a  fisherman  named  T.  Hatcher  in  a  mac- 
kerel seine.  In  the  most  recent  treatise,  "  British  Salt  Water 
Fish,"  by  F.  G.  Aflalo,  it  is  stated  "the  flying  fish  (Exoccetus 
volitans)  is  doubtfully  included  with  a  second  species  in  '  Day's 
British  Fishes,'  but  the  evidence  of  their  presence  alive  on  our 
coasts  is  too  unreliable  to  make  a  detailed  description  desirable." 
The  fish  is  a  very  good  specimen,  its  total  length  being 
1 1  Jin.  From  the  nose  to  the  top  of  the  upper  caudal  fin  it 
measures  ic^in.  The  length  of  the  pectoral  fins  is  6^in.  Another 
rare  visitor  to  English  waters  has  been  caught  in  a  similar  man- 
ner by  Mr.  Hunter,  another  fisherman  of  Weymouth.  This  is  a 
file  or  trigger  fish  (Balistes  capriscus).  There  are  only  two  pre- 
vious records  of  the  fish  having  been  caught  on  the  Dorset  coast, 
and  they  were  taken  at  about  the  same  place  as  the  present  spe- 
cimen in  the  years  1873  and  1905." 

209.  WEST  HILL  ROAD,  SHERBORNE. — 
Preparations  had  been  made  previous  to  1848,  by  the  Sher- 

borne  Turnpike  Trust,  for  improvements  in  the  road  leading 
from  Sherborne  to  the  summit  of  West  Hill.  The  old  road  was 
steep  and  inconvenient,  and  a  new  road  was  projected  to  ascend 
the  hill  by  a  sweep  to  the  east,  with  new  branches  at  the  summit 
to  Blandford  and  Lillington. 

The  work  was  arranged  to  be  executed  in  three  sections,  set 
out  in  three  specifications,  which  were  certified  as  satisfactory  by 
Robert  Poyner,  i6th  January,  1848,  and  Mr.  William  Michael 


318  Somerset  &•  Dorset  Notes  &•  Queries. 

Peniston,  of  Yeovil,  *  was  made  sole  arbiter  in  case  of  disputes 
arising  in  the  course  of  its  execution. 

The  following  particulars  have  been  gathered  from  a  copy 
of  the  plans  and  specifications  which  have  recently  been  lent 
to  me. 

1.  "Specification  to  contract  for  the  formation  of  a  New 
Road  from  Meers  Hill  Plantation  to  Whittington's  Lane  in  the 
Parish  of  Sherborne." 

The  plantation  above  named  is  situated  on  the  left  hand  of 
the  traveller  from  Sherborne,  as  he  approaches  the  top  of  West 
Hill,  and  begins  at  the  lowest  point  of  the  present  excavation  or 
cutting  in  the  hill. 

Whittington's  Lane,  at  the  lower  end  of  this  division  of  the 
work,  is  a  lane,  crossed  by  the  new  road,  and  extending  from  the 
Park  Fence  westward  to  the  Thornford  Road. 

The  length  of  this  section  of  the  proposed  new  road  was 
about  40  chains. 

This  specification  "  comprehends  the  construction  and  main- 
tenance of  all  the  Earthwork,  Banking,  Fencing,  Draining, 
Metalling,  and  all  other  work  of  every  description  necessary  to 
the  entire  completion  "  of  this  portion  of  the  road,  and  states  the 
particulars  in  detail.  "The  road  must  be  completed  and  the 
traffic  diverted  within  two  months  from  the  date  of  commence- 
ment, and  the  whole  work  must  be  completed  within  three 
months  from  such  date."  The  plan  of  this  section  of  the  work 
shows  the  junction  of  the  New  Road  vrith  the  Old  at  the  lower 
corner  of  Meer  Hill  Plantation,  where  the  present  cutting  begins. 
It  also  shows  a  Turn-Pike  Gate,  closing  the  access  to  Sherborne 
at  the  point  where  Whittington's  Lane  joins  the  road  to  Thorn- 
ford.  This  is  also  given  on  Plan  No.  2. 

2.  "  Specification  to  contract  for  the  formation  of  a  New 
Road  from  the  Factory  near  West  Bridge  to  Whittington's  Lane 
in  the  Parish  of  Sherborne." 

This  improvement  joins  the  other  portion  of  the  work  at  the 
point  where  the  new  road  crosses  Whittington's  Lane,  and  is  car- 
ried on  to  the  entrance  of  the  town  of  Sherborne,  being  about 
thirty-three  chains  in  length. 

It  is  stated  that  "  Until  the  New  Bridge  is  built,  a  tempo- 
rary communication  must  be  made  between  the  New  Road  and 
the  present  West  Bridge  on  the  east  side  of  the  proposed  New 
Road,"  and  the  road  must  be  completed  and  the  traffic  diverted 
within  four  months  from  the  date  of  commencement,  and  the 
whole  work  completed  in  six  months. 

*  Mr.  J.  J.  Hammond  informs  me  that  he  was  the  son  of  Mr.  John  Penis- 
ton,  (Surveyor,  Salisbury,  who  died  in  1848)  and  surveyed  the  G.  W.  R. 
from  Weymouth  to  Westbury  under  Brunei.  He  lived  at  Yetminster,  and  had 
his  office  in  Yeovil.  He  subsequently  went  to  India,  and  surveyed  Indian 
Railways. 


Somerset  &•  Dorset  Notes  &•  Queries.  319 

In  Plan,  No.  2,  the  New  Road  is  shown  as  crossing  the  Old 
Road  diagonally  immediately  below  a  mile-stone,  and  at  the 
point  where  the  branch  lane  leads  to  Dark  hole  Mill.  It  then 
runs  for  a  short  distance  on  the  west  of  the  old  road  and  bridge, 
but  joins  the  old  road  again  on  reaching  the  turning  to  Yeovil 
adjoining  the  Factory,  termed  "to  Horsecastles  Gate." 

In  this  plan  no  road  or  lane  (but  a  hedge  only)  seems  to  be 
shown  where  the  existing  Terrace  road  now  runs  eastward  from 
the  main  road  in  the  direction  of  the  Park  Gate,  though  such  a 
lane  appears  in  the  Ordnance  Map  of  1811. 

3.  "  Specification  to  contract  for  lowering  the  Crown  of 
West  Hill,  metalling  the  New  Road,  and  the  formation  of  two 
new  roads  to  Blandford  and  Lillington." 

It  requires  that  "  the  works  will  be  proceeded  with  in  the 
following  order,  viz.  The  New  Roads  to  Blandford  and  Lilling- 
ton will  be  first  formed,  and  when  the  traffic  is  diverted  over  them, 
the  excavation  from  West  Hill  will  be  deposited  in  the  old  roads. 
In  this  work  care  must  be  taken  to  form  the  spoil  as  nearly  as 
possible  to  the  level  of  the  banks  on  either  side.  It  is  assumed 
that  by  the  time  the  above  works  are  completed,  the  New  Road 
from  West  Hill  to  Whittington's  Lane  will  be  formed,  and  the 
traffic  diverted  over  it,  and  when  this  is  done,  the  remainder  of 
the  clay  and  shale  excavated  from  West  Hill  will  be  carried  to 
spoil  in  the  Old  Road,  and  formed  in  the  manner  referred  to 
above."  The  same  proviso  as  to  time  occurs  as  in  No.  2. 

The  plan  relating  to  this  section  shows  that  the  lane  hitherto 
connecting  the  West  Hill  road  with  the  lane  to  North  Wootton 
entered  the  (now  private)  road  on  the  south  of  Meers  Hill  Plan- 
tation nearly  at  a  right  angle,  as  is  also  seen  in  the  Ordnance 
Map  of  1811.  This  was  now  stopped,  and  has  since  been  obli- 
terated, and  a  new  branch  made,  sweeping  round  to  the  high 
road  at  the  Toll  House. 

The  old  branch  road  to  Lillington,  which  diverged  from  the 
old  main  road,  a  little  way  down  the  hill,  was  now  stopped,  and 
a  new  branch  formed  at  the  summit. 

The  three  plans  accompanying  these  specifications,  are  all 
signed  by  G.  B.  Pennell,  March,  1848,  Yeovil. 

At  the  same  time  three  designs  were  made  for  the  new  West 
Bridge  (of  one  arch)  to  be  built  over  the  river — one  called  "  Mr. 
Peniston's  Sketch,"  another  "  Mr.  J.  Vulliamy's  Sketch,"  and  the 
third  "  Original  design  from  'Longford  Bridge.'"  The  tracing 
is  initialled  "  D.  M.  P.  [or  D.  M.  D.]  19/4/48." 

The  course  of  the  old  road  may  still  be  clearly  traced.

210.  HOMFRAY  FAMILY. — For  some  years  I  have  been  en- 
gaged in  collecting  notices  of  the  above  family  from  whom  I  am

maternally  descended,  my  mother  being  the  daughter  of  Thomas 
Homfray,  J.P.,  of  the  Hill,  Stourbridge,  Co.  Worcester. 

I  have  been  given  to  understand  that  this  family  originated 
in  Dorset,  though  now  located  elsewhere,  and  I  should  be  very 
grateful  for  any  information  connecting  it  with  Dorset. 

Previous  to  the  iyth  century  or  thereabouts  the  name  was 
spelt  Homfray  and  Homfray  variantly,  but  after  that  time  the 
family  decided  to  use  the  latter  form,  Homfray  (Homme  vrai, 
true  man)  to  which  it  has  adhered  ever  since. 

The  only  name  that  I  have  seen  in  Hutchins'  Dorset  and 
spelt  anyway  like  it,  is  Humfrey,  but  my  family  have  never  spelt 
it  with  a  u.

211.  THE  WEST  DORSET  HISTORICAL  PAGEANT. — This  en- 
terprising display,  held  at  Bradpole,  near  Bridport,  Dorset,  on 
July  20,  21  and  22,  last,  deserves  an  appreciative  notice  in  these 
pages.  It  represented  two  scenes,  the  first  concerned  with 
what  might  have  been, — a  visit  paid  by  Queen  Katherine,  widow  of 
Henry  VIII,  and  her  husband,  Lord  Seymour  of  Sudeley,  on  May 
Day,  1548,  to  the  village  of  Bradpole,  of  which  she  was  Lady  of 
the  Manor,  with  the  accessories  of  an  Old  English  Festival ; — 
the  second  representing  the  incognito  visit  of  Charles  II,  who 
actually  passed  through  Bradpole  on  Sept.  23,  1651,  in  the  course 
of  his  flight  after  the  battle  of  Worcester.  The  idea  originated 
with  Mr.  A.  M.  Broadley,  of  the  Knapp,  Bradpole,  and  was  com- 
municated by  him  to  the  Rev.  C.  F.  Langford,  Vicar  of  the 
parish,  in  the  autumn  of  1909,  and  the  delay  occasioned  by  the 
death  of  King  Edward  afforded  ample  time  for  the  preparations 
reaching  maturity.  To  the  scheme  drawn  up  by  Mr.  Broadley 
dialogues  and  songs  were  provided  by  Mr.  H.  Pouncy,  of  Dor- 
chester. The  villagers  exerted  themselves  to  the  utmost,  and  of 
the  208  costumes  used,  138  were  made  by  the  inhabitants.  Friends 
also  from  far  and  near  came  to  aid  in  the  performance,  and  the 
result  was  most  charming,  and  well  deserved  the  applause  which 
it  received.  The  proceedings  were  opened  on  the  three  days  by 
Lady  Seymour,  Mrs.  Sauer  of  Parnham,  and  Lady  Wells  respec- 
tively. 

The  Book  of  Words  is  a  clever  production,  and  should  be 
secured  as  a  memento,  from  Mr.  Frost,  bookseller,  Bridport, 
(price  is.)  if  any  copies  still  remain  unsold.
